1- THE
COMMUNITY

In the Makness
community there is space for everyone! We have a 3D printing system that fits
the needs of each user.

1.1 ARE YOU A MAKER WHO WANTS TO ENJOY A HIGH PERFORMANCE 3D PRINTER AT A LOW PRICE?

Our MKI 3D printer has
the best performance at a very competitive price in the current market. With open
firmware and you can use the 1.75mm filament you want!

Main features:

Dual extruder:
the MK I has a dual extruder system that allows to print in two colors at the same time

Wireless: you can
send the print order from any device, such as PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone,
because MK I is WiFi ready!

After-cooling: with the MK
I you don't need to wait 30min until the heated bed cools down after the
print finishes. It comprises an after-cooling system which blows fresh air
directly to the printed object's base, so you can retire your object in just a
blink of an eye!

Price: The MKI has excellent printing features on the
market, but for less than half the price
of its direct competitors!

1.2 ARE YOU A MAKER WHO ALSO WANTS TO MAKE MONEY?

If you
consider that your design seems to be a popular product or simply you want to
help other people with them, you can request us to become a Makness freelancer
and you can also earn money for each 3D model download. You will also receive
some extra benefits (discounts) as a freelancer, and even become Makness staff!

1.3- DO YOU WANT TO
PRINT SOMETHING IN A COMFORTABLE AND SIMPLE WAY WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF 3D
PRINTING?

If you want to print
something for a hobby, necessity or simply because you want it, but you do
not have the time or 3D printing knowledge, with our MK1 printer you will
not have that problem, it does all for you! So you only need to push a button and your object will be created in front of you!

With your MKI printer
you simply need to follow 3 simple steps to print any object:

1- Choose the model
you want from the catalog, or ask the Makness team to create it for you.

2- Choose the capsule
of printing material that you like and put it in the printer.

3- Click and the model
will be sent by Wifi to your printer and start printing.

In order to facilitate
the whole process, we have developed a self-insertion system of capsules, so
you only need to place the capsule in the holder and the filament is
automatically introduced into the extruder when printing begins.

2- THE CATALOG

3D models
for everybody!

2.1- EXCLUSIVE

Our catalog is based
on exclusive models designed by our team ant the makers community, so it will grow continuously listening
to your needs.

2.2- VALIDATED ONE BY ONE

We have
created 100% exclusive high quality 3D models, designed for printing and
tested one by one by our team.

2.3- OPTIMIZED SIZE

No need to do more
prints with the same roll until you finish it!

The
Makness 3D printing system allows traditional (1kg) format or small single only-use
capsules, so you choose what you prefer! You can print any model you want with
them because our catalog of 3D models is optimized for its use: each 3D model
has been designed thinking in how many printing material is required, so there
is no lack or exceed of printing filament when printing from a capsule.

We offer 2
sizes of capsules in a cool materials and colors variety:

MAKNESS ON THE NEWS

THE TEAM

DESIGN PROCESS

Makness team has worked together in previous project
where 3D prototyping was required. After thousands of failed prints: bad
finishing results due to bad printing temperature or speed selection, lack of
printing filament after several printing hours, object's shape were impossible
to print or details were not designed for 3D printing....we realized why 3D
printing was not extended to a massive domestic use. It was not easy!

With previous 3D printers you must spend hundreds of
hours modeling the object, then you must launch at least 3 o 4 prints until you
reach the finishing you want, and you must print 100 times with the same color
because you only had 1Kg filament rolls.

That was when, in 2015, the Makness team decided to
develop a whole 3D printing system for the whole family

Risks and challenges

Makness has already developed the whole 3D printing system since the last two years: printer, wireless interface, models catalog and capsules.

However, the firmware is still under development (quality and robustness improvements) and jump to mass production and homologation is still a goal. Most of current parts (capsules and some printer components) are 3D printed, so we still need to test the printer with 100% productive components (plastic injection parts, wiring...)

Mass production, customer real usage and logistics are always a challenge, but our team has the required experience and facilities, so we will communicate all our progress or delays to the bakers with total transparency.
